Saraosta's ... Favorite Creamy Rice and Peas

• 3 cups cooked white rice
• 1 cup baby peas
• 2 shallots, very fine diced
• 34 cup heavy cream (more of less depending on how creamy you want the rice)
• 14 cup pecorino romano cheese
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
• salt
• pepper
• pecorino romano cheese (optional)

1. Rice -- Use whatever method you want and whatever type of rice you want for this dish - that is not what is important.
2. You want around 3 cups.
3. A little more is fine, this isn't an exact recipe.
4. Sauce -- As the rice cooks, heat up the cream, shallot, and cheese in a small bowl or measuring cup in the microwave for just 1 minute on medium heat.
5. Finish -- Add the warm sauce to the cooked rice along with the fresh thyme, salt and pepper.
6. Mix well to combine.
7. If you want it a bit creamier, add more cream.
8. NOTE: I just like to heat the cream first, just a few seconds in the microwave, so it is warm when I add it to the rice.
9. Serve -- Garnish with a little cheese if you want and serve.
10. It goes with just about anything.
11. ENJOY!
